Coordinating Work with the Gifted

Identification and provision in the county of Surrey is surveyed. The identification procedure considers pupils in the top 1% of the ability range as indicated by the Wechsler Scale of Intelligence. These children are carefully monitored by a senior member of staff in each school, who also undertakes to liaise with the rest of the staff in providing a suitable individualised learning programme for each child. The county has a well-developed bank of resources and personnel.
